| Statewide Interest: |
| The NORC project has statewide interest as it provides services to at-risk elders living in their own home and ensures that seniors age in place in the home of their choice while reducing the cost of services that are more costly if provided in long term facilities.Providing services such as, Elder Stakeholder Councils, community education and crisis intervention empowers communities to assist with early detection and remediation of elder challenges that may result in neglect or exploitation and greater use of high cost supports, services and institutional care. The program enhances the well-being of elders and their loved ones in cost effective fashion while reducing reliance on high cost services thus aligning FS 216.015(2) |
